Hybrid picking is a technique deployed by countless guitarists to expand the technical and creative scopes of their playing, allowing them to compose harmonically distinct passages that add depth and dimension to their music and songwriting. Though this method of playing is typically associated with revoicing chords or softer genres, the reality is that learning how to hybrid pick broadens your compositional horizons by reorienting yourself to the musical relationships of each note on your fretboard. Why limit yourself to only what your guitar pick can catch? Blues-rock virtuoso and hybrid-picking extraordinaire Josh Smith drops by for an exclusive guitar lesson to teach you hybrid picking.
